Just found this out the other day - possibly useful for people that have to call 0800 numbers regularly.
You can call these number for free from your mobile by installing the Skype application. Just open up Skype and key in the number and it goes through. You'll need to have a 3G/WIFI signal for the call to be clear though. Because this is a VOIP service, it doesn't matter where in the world you're calling from. Clearly you'll want to be using wifi if calling from abroad due to data roaming charges.
Came in handy for me recently when I had to call Amex new accounts (0800 number) while I was in Cyprus.

What about the '0800 Wizzard' app?
Isn't that 'flavour of the month' any more?0
